DESCRIPTION

Demon's Blazon is a platform/adventure game by Capcom. Red-Arremer is a red flying demon and he most certainly looks strangely familiar to anyone acquainted with Capcom's popular Makaimura series. Our demon's mission is to collect six stolen crests (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Time and Heaven). Interestingly, Demon's Blazon breaks away from the linear progression laid down by previous games in the Makaimura series. After the first introduction stage, Red-Arremer is able to fly over a pseudo-3D map and is free to travel to new destinations. The levels unlock themselves as the game progresses and a couple seem to always be available for exploration. Red-Arremer's first abilities is to throw fireballs and to fly, or rather to hang in the air. He can also use magic spells and potions that are usually symbolized by scrolls or empty bottles. Each new crest gives our hero new powers and allow him to tranform into new and more powerful demons. These new abilities open up new areas for exploration and some seemingly inaccessible places become easily reachable. They are also the best reason to explore previously visited levels again, the player never knows what he may find in there. Other special items are also scattered throughout the game such as the health orbs which give Red-Arremer a precious extra health slot. Shops and special stores are also located on the world map and can be visited at any time - there, our hero can purchase new spells or magic potions. Finally, the game's progress can be saved using a sixteen character password - it comes as a cost though and all the collected money, potions and spells are lost in the process...
